The soda is reported to have a luxuriously rich flavor profile that is perfect for consumption in cooler weather, which makes it a suitable alternative for consumers who don't like hot beverages but want to enjoy seasonal flavors. The drink is expertly branded with a wrapped bottle that showcases leaf-topped apples enveloped in effervescence to easily catch the eye of shoppers. The Coca-Cola Apple soda is being exclusively launched in Japan and comes hot off the success of [Coca-Cola Peach](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pepsi-zero-peach) that was first introduced in 2018 and again in 2019 to consumer praise. The soda will be available for purchase starting September 16.
